Hacienda Na Xamena Ibiza

About Hacienda Na Xamena Ibiza

Hacienda Na Xamena Ibiza suits travellers who want a quiet base on the north coast rather than a resort strip. The hotel stands outside Port de Sant Miquel, in the hills of the Sant Joan de Labritja municipality, and works for couples, walkers and families with a car. Anyone hoping to step out to a promenade, a bar strip or a town centre will find the setting remote. A hire car is the simplest way to reach the coves, markets and villages of the north.

The property is a five-star hotel with a guest score of 4.4 out of 5 from 538 reviews. It is a full-service stay: the facilities list includes an outdoor pool, an indoor pool, a fitness centre, a garden, a games room and a lounge, so a day can pass without leaving the grounds. Breakfast is listed, including in-room service. The hotel is not beachfront; the sea is nearby rather than at the door.

Location: Sant Joan de Labritja

Hacienda Na Xamena Ibiza takes its address from Na Xamena, on the north coast above Port de Sant Miquel. This is the quieter side of Ibiza: pine-ringed bays, a scattering of small villages and long stretches where the hills run down to the sea. Port de Sant Miquel, the nearest village, keeps the low-key feel of the north, and the busier resorts of the south and east lie well away.

Nothing much is walkable beyond the immediate surroundings, so plan on a car, a taxi or the seasonal bus network for everything else. Ibiza Town port is 18.7 km away in a straight line, Santa Eulària des Riu 14.3 km, Portinatx 9.1 km and Cala Sant Vicent 14.8 km, with road distances longer than those figures. In July and August the north stays calmer than the south, though the coast road still slows. May, June, September and October bring easier driving and quieter coves.

Rooms and facilities

Couples tend to use the listed balcony rooms and the lounge for slow evenings, with the indoor pool and the fitness centre as wet-weather options. Families get the most from the family rooms, the kids pool, cots and high chairs, and a babysitting service is on the list. Late arrivals are covered by the 24-hour front desk and 24-hour security, and there is luggage storage for a last day at the coast.

The facilities list adds air conditioning, a minibar, a bath with a hairdryer and bathrobe, a desk, an alarm clock and a DVD player, plus free WiFi and a laundry and dry cleaning service. Room service breakfast, a bar and lunch are listed, along with banquet space and a business centre. Confirm the exact room type, whether the balcony faces the sea, and how breakfast is served when booking.

Getting there

Hacienda Na Xamena Ibiza sits 23.3 km from Ibiza Airport (IBZ) measured in a straight line, so the drive takes you across the island and up the north coast, with the road distance longer than that figure. A taxi from the arrivals rank is the simplest option with luggage. Hiring a car at the airport is worth it for the north, and the hotel lists free parking and a car rental service.

From Ibiza Town port the straight-line distance is 18.7 km, a route that also serves anyone arriving by ferry from Formentera or the mainland. Santa Eulària des Riu lies 14.3 km off, Portinatx 9.1 km and Cala Sant Vicent 14.8 km. Island buses run to the northern villages with more lines in summer, so check current routes and times with the island bus operator, and expect fewer flights and sailings in winter.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

For sea days, the kayaking waters of the north coast calas lie 11.2 km away in a straight line, and Portinatx, a sheltered bay with a village behind it, is 9.1 km off. Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta on the west coast are 13.9 km away. Hacienda Na Xamena Ibiza is not beachfront, so ask the hotel which bay suits your swimming and how best to reach it.

Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta is 13.5 km away in a straight line, held on Saturdays with current days worth checking. Inland, small villages and churches sit among the hills of Sant Joan de Labritja. For food, look for bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island fish stew served in two courses, plus fresh fish and rice dishes at the north's small kitchens.

A day from Hacienda Na Xamena Ibiza

Start with an early swim or a kayak session on the north coast calas, 11.2 km away in a straight line, before the day warms up and the road gets busy. Portinatx, 9.1 km off, is an easy stop for a sheltered bay and a village centre. Return to Hacienda Na Xamena Ibiza for the indoor or outdoor pool in the afternoon heat, and the 24-hour front desk can arrange a taxi.

Late afternoon suits the drive west to Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, 13.9 km away in a straight line, where the swimming continues into the evening. A Saturday can end at Las Dalias market at Sant Carles, 13.5 km off, with current market days confirmed before setting out. An evening back at the hotel, with the bar listed, closes the day.

Practical tips

Hacienda Na Xamena Ibiza is best visited between May and October, when the north's boat trips, beach bars and seasonal buses run. Much of the island's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, although the main towns stay open, so check the hotel's own opening dates before booking a winter stay. July and August are the peak. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax is charged per person per night by the accommodation; rates depend on the accommodation type and season and children under 16 are exempt, so check the Govern de les Illes Balears.
